Abstract excerpt
Motor complications induced through repeated L-DOPA treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease are thought to be the consequence of molecular adaptations that occur in response to repeated dopamine receptors stimulation. Here, we studied the molecular changes taking place in the denervated striatum of unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats repeatedly treated with L-DOPA alone or combined to the D1 receptor...
